Our Story

I AM RESOURCES, INC. brings together students, parents, teachers, and school administrators, all of whom have a vested interest in the student’s success, and works to narrow the scholastic achievement gap and reduce the need for special education referrals of minority and economically disadvantaged students.

Our programs teach life-long skills to self-regulate emotions and behavior so that our students are equipped, focused, and confident to meet challenges, now and in the future.

We provide a cost-effective model of early intervention, psychological counseling, and cognitive strategies that address the mental health needs of minority and economically disadvantaged elementary school students.

Our Values

We work cooperatively and respectfully with children and families.

We foster curiosity in the hearts of learners.

We believe that every child deserves an opportunity for mental health.

“Mental health is important to overall health and student achievement. Without early diagnosis and supports and interventions, children with mental health issues can have significant problems at home, in school and in the community.”

– CDC Children’s Mental Health Report, 2013

We teach life skills to students so that they are equipped, focused, and confident to meet educational challenges, now and in the future.

Services

Evidence Based Assessments
